Does it make sense to have multiple campaigns for one website?
-
I'm new to SEO and SEOMoz. While setting up my campaigns, I was a bit confused. Do I need to setup separate campaigns for different pages of my site?
For example, I run a proofreading service: www.kibin.com
I obviously want to track keyword on the main page (like proofreading service), however, I also want to track keywords (like 'essay editing') on www.kibin.com/essay-editing
Should these be two separate campaigns or do I just put all the keywords into one campaign for kibin.com?
Thanks!

Glad it was helpful - good luck and I look forward to more Q&As with you!

Thanks Andrea, that's very helpful and it makes sense! I'll stick with one campaign.
And yes, there is duplicate content issues with our homepage and /essay-editing page... we're working on a redesign right now and will have it live in the next couple weeks. In the meantime, I'm setting up our Moz account and getting some crawl data to work with, doing keyword research, etc.
Thanks for providing some clarity.

Welcome! My two cents (and the great thing about this site is that you'll get plenty of opinions) is that I like one campaign per domain. For me, it's really about seeing what's happening within mysite - and, using your example, www.kibin.com/essay-editing is a page within your kibin.com domain.
Focusing on just a subfolder, like your essay-editing section, just limits your overall visibility into what's going on within your site. Personally, I look at the big picture then whittle down into the subfolders and whatnot.
Why do I have that preference? The pages have to live within the overall domain - I look at the relation between them, how they each rank, where I may cannibalize one vs the other, what page ranks well, what doesn't. This is what Moz campaigns are great for.
Moz will tell you which pages rank for which terms. You could learn that, again using your example, a different page is ranking for "'essay editing" than the one you seem to want, www.kibin.com/essay-editing.
(Although, having just looked at your main domain and your essay-editing page, they look exactly alike so there's duplicate content and possible cannibalization going on - or something isn't functioning properly and the page won't load; I didn't dig into it.)
Now, since you can set up multiple campaigns, there's nothing to stop you for doing both, either. You can always try it that way and see what data you see and then tweak as you'd like.

Hi Kibin,
No you shouldn't set multiple campaigns. Just simple add keywords to your campaign in section: Campaigns -> Manage Keywords
After crawling you can see the results in:
-
Rankings - keyword positions
-
On-Page - On Page Optimization Reports for Google ... how good page is optimized for specific keyword

Is There a Tool to Link Moz Keyword Rankings With Google Adwords Campaigns?
I wanted to know if there is a tool or other way to automatically link my Moz keyword rankings with my Google Adwords account for the purpose of allowing me to "pause" Adwords campaigns for keywords for which I rank well in the SERP's and to "activate" Adwords for keywords for which I do not rank well. Since these rankings can change from week to week, it would be great to be able to turn on and off Adwords for specific keywords depending upon my rankings that week.

Confused on setting up my domain in a campaign
I have a website that is www.example.com. When I first setup my campaign in SEOMoz, I missed the instructions that stated I need to set up my domain as it appeared in the browser. Thus, I set it up as example.com. When I realized my mistake, I setup a second campaign as www.example.com and am running them side by side to see the differences. My question has to do with the best setup. I have a blog that is a subdomain as blog.example.com. It appears that the www.example.com campaign is not crawling the blog pages but example.com is. Are there any downsides in setting up this campaign as example.com? I have a number of other sites with the same issue so would like to get this resolved before I setup the additional sites. Thanks for any assistance or insights into ways I may be "shooting myself in the foot" with the wrong domain structure in my campaign settings.

Campaign warnings and recommendations
How crucial is it to follow / fix the campaign warnings. For example, even though our website is ranking well the campaign report is stating that we've too many links on the majority of pages and the title element is too long. My question is if I make changes based on these recommendations, do you think that we will see a dramatic improvement in our rankings ?

What is the best way to analyze all of the outgoing links from a website to determine which links are not beneficial?
I've recently been tasked with the SEO on an old site that was ranking somewhere on page two for desirable keyword phrases. The site was taken completely offline for a few months and started ranking on page one for the same desirable keyword phrases. The site has a lot of link partners and I think that some of the links from the site are going to undesirable pages and I'm looking for the best way to get rid of the links that are hurting the sites rankings.
